- Simotics SD motor series from Siemens is now consistently available in efficiency class Super Premium Efficiency (IE4)
- Exceeds increasingly stringent requirements of ErP Directive 2019/1781, which takes effect in two steps in July 2021 and July 2023
- Users can meet long-term efficiency standards, save energy, lower operating costs, and reduce CO2 emissions
Siemens is presenting the Simotics SD motor series as part of the Digital Enterprise Virtual Experience at the Hannover Messe 2021. The standard version of Simotics SD is offered in the efficiency class Super Premium Efficiency (IE4) across the entire power spectrum from 2.2 to 1,000 kW and for the number of poles 2, 4, as well as from 75 kW for 6 poles and from 55 kW for 8 poles. Simotics SD in IE4 thus exceeds the so-called ErP Directive 2019/1781 (energy-related products) – both the first stage, which will be valid by July 2021, as well as the next, which will apply from July 2023. The directive defines the eco-design requirements for electric motors and speed control systems.

- Expansion of the Customer-Proven Veloce Family Sets New Standard in Hardware-assisted Verification
Siemens Digital Industries Software today unveiled its next-generation Veloce™ hardware-assisted verification system for the rapid verification of highly sophisticated, next-generation Integrated Circuit (IC) designs. This is the first complete, integrated offering that combines best-in-class virtual platform, hardware emulation, and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) prototyping technologies, and paves the way to leverage the latest powerful hardware-assisted verification methodologies.
This year, the 1.4 million square meter Deutsche Messe exhibition site in Hanover, Germany will become 5G-ready. Deutsche Messe, which organizes international capital goods trade shows, has obtained a frequency allocation in the 3.7-3.8 GHz range from the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency) and will set up one of the largest 5G zones in Europe, spanning 30 halls and buildings as well as the entire open-air ground. Siemens is playing a very specific role in this achievement. As one of the key exhibitors at the HANNOVER MESSE, Siemens is setting up a private 5G campus network with a focus on industrial use in one of the exhibition halls in Hanover. The network can be used by exhibitors during trade shows and, outside of trade show times, can be used by companies for tests and field trials.
- Siemens expands long-standing relationship supporting U.S. Air Force with proven digital capabilities to innovate in the defense industry
Siemens today announced the U.S. Air Force has selected
Teamcenter® software as the foundational system of record to support its digital acquisition and sustainment strategy for critical systems and technologies across the service. The selection of Teamcenter as the Air Force enterprise standard follows a 2019 indefinite-delivery / indefinite-quantity contract for $24.6 million to Siemens for licensing, maintenance and support.
- FIA and Siemens extend partnership to provide the ‘FIA Mobility Advocate’— a unique software and hardware toolkit — for FIA Mobility Member Clubs to strengthen advocacy of future transport solutions
As an
“Official Supplier of Urban Mobility Advocacy Solutions” for the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body of world motor sport and
the federation of the world's leading motoring organisations, Siemens plans to
develop a toolkit of software solutions for FIA Member Clubs to help them
provide an evidence-based approach to advocate for the implementation of mobility
policies and strategies. The ‘FIA Mobility Advocate’ combines modeling for
mobility, autonomous vehicles, and the environment, with enhanced analysis
outputs to help meet current future mobility goals.
- Sitrans CC240 IOT gateway provides standardized access to the lifecycle data of HART® devices

- Compatible with all OPC UA client applications
- Direct connection to Siemens MindSphere
- Numerous possible applications for on and off-premise solutions
Siemens presents the Sitrans CloudConnect 240: a new IOT gateway for the process industry. It provides a second data channel, completely independent of the control system, which is used to transmit data from any HART®-based field devices to the IT world.
- Siemens and Merck announce project partnership
- Cooperation will drive forward modular production (Plug&Produce) based on the MTP and POL standard
- Quick adaptation to process requirements with little effort
- A one stop solution with hardware and software components from Siemens
Siemens and science and technology company Merck will work together in future at Merck's headquarters in Darmstadt to develop a technical backbone for the modular production of the future. The aim is to create a production line that flexibly combines various individual process modules and to use Module Type Package (MTP) and Process Orchestration Layer (POL) technology to drastically reduce engineering effort. At the same time, it should be possible to adapt quickly to process requirements. With its integrated product range covering all production levels (field to MES), Siemens is able to provide all the necessary hardware and software components from its own product portfolio.
- Early detection of anomalies in the drivetrain with the support of artificial intelligence
- Trend Prediction for optimized maintenance efficiency
- Higher productivity and reduced machine and system downtime
Siemens has supplemented the Mindsphere application Predictive Service Assistance with an AI-based module. The new Artificial Intelligence module identifies concrete fault patterns in motors at an early stage, such as misalignment or a defective bearing. The application thus helps users to reduce downtimes and further improve spare parts and maintenance processes. The new Artificial Intelligence module for motors uses a neural network to solve what was previously implemented using a defined KPI limit value. This enables the module to detect anomalies even before the defined limit value and provides clear indications of the type and severity of faults and their development. As soon as the application detects signs of an error, it warns the user and generates a due date that indicates when the error should ideally be corrected and what corrective action is recommended to prevent an unplanned downtime. Predictive Service Assistance with the new AI-based Artificial Intelligence module is offered as part of a Predictive Service Assessment. The package includes a customized configuration service that ensures that the Mindsphere application with the new AI-based module runs optimally according to the customer's requirements.
